Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are widely expected to work things out and get a deal done together. However, a deal has not been agreed to yet which has rumors and questions flying around.Some have wondered whether or not Rodgers is waiting so long to see if another opportunity opens up. Many believe that he wanted to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
Is it possible that Rodgers is remaining in free agency as long as possible to see if the Vikings change their mind and decide to sign him
That is something that ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler spoke out about recently.
“I can’t say he’s rooting for [McCarthy] to get hurt, it’s just sort of a back-of-mind feeling of that maybe he’s sort of waiting that out. It’s hard with Aaron Rodgers because he’s so unpredictable and this is his first foray into free agency, so I can’t even begin to get into his mind,” Fowler said.
“Look, he’s a smart guy. He sees a team with a good offense, a really good offensive coach and nine dome games guaranteed. That’s pretty attractive to him I would assume. I still think, you know you talk to people in Pittsburgh, they say they remain optimistic, they’re going to wait a little while longer for Aaron Rodgers, they’ve been in contact with Aaron Rodgers. It still points to Pittsburgh, but until it happens you at least wonder if he’s waiting something out like that.”
During a radio appearance on KFAN-FM 100.3 on Tuesday, Fowler delivered his thoughts on the matter.
